EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM STARTS IN SEPTEMBER
All of us remember a favorite teacher or school employee who had a positive impact on our educational experience. Help us celebrate the staff that are making a difference in the lives of students in Ottumwa!
Starting in September, five employees will be recognized each month during the regular Board of Education meeting for continually going above and beyond for students, staff, and parents.
Students, parents, and staff can nominate one or more school employees by the 15th of each month (except June and December, then on the first day of the month) for consideration. An electronic form has been created and is located on the district website under Quick Links (ottumwaschools.com). See the link for Employee Nomination Form. Nominations will be reviewed and five employees will be recommended to the superintendent to be honored each month. Nominations not selected will be kept and considered again in future months.
Staff members who are recognized will receive a certificate and an Ottumwa Schools gift pack from Superintendent Mike McGrory, be highlighted in the Bulldog Bulletin, and be recognized at the regular Board of Education meeting. This will include the reading of each nomination and public recognition of their efforts to make a difference in our district. Staff will also be recognized through web stories, social media, and press releases to the media.
